My Femdom Marriage: A True Story (Part Two) is, of course, a sequel to Part One of Ann Michelle's narrative autobiography. While you could probably get away with reading it as a standalone tale, you would be robbing yourself of the full experience. There is a journey here that needs to be appreciated from its earliest beginnings in order to understand the significance of how it develops, and how it ends (at least, for now).

While there are elements of fantasy and fetish to the overall story, aspects that might have some readers raising an eyebrow or pursing their lips, Ann is unflinchingly honest. That means she not only shares her deepest, darkest desires, but also owns up to her fears, anxieties, and inhibitions.

"Growing breasts had always been a fantasy of mine. It was one of the sexiest fantasies I had. But I don't think I want them in real life. How would I hide them? Talk about something inescapable! Everyone would know!"

What we see in this second part is just how much those urges come into conflict, causing both Ann and her wife to question what they are doing and why. There are significant developments here that move the fantasy forward, with threats of public exposure, cuckolding, and even castration weighing heavily, but it is the little banalities of life that make it so compelling. For instance, we all fantasize about giving up total control, but rarely do we think of what that means. The reality of the situation comes crashing home over and over again here, with Ann's wife threatening to give her beloved car to their daughter, or to sell her prized golf clubs in order to buy her own.

What I found particularly fascinating here is the continuing story of Ann's wife, and how she deals with a fantasy she never wanted in the first place. If this were a traditional narrative, a piece of erotic fiction, we would see her settle into the role and become the perfect dominatrix wife. Instead, we see a real woman who doubts herself and her role, who feels stifled by their shared secret, and who is constantly fighting against memories of a more traditional marriage. How you see her depends largely on your role in your relationship, but I admire her a great deal for her role in Ann's story. Where many women would have turned on their heels and run from such an unorthodox relationship, she really does try to make it work - for both of them.

Again, if this were just an erotic story, we would get to experience some grand, significant climax alongside Ann, with a moment of no-return consigning her to a life of feminized submission. It is her story, however, and life is rarely that tidy. I will say no more about it, but there are moments of both heartbreak and joy here, with sorrow mixing in with the excitement. It would have been all too easy for Ann to fantasize a different end, but I applaud her for sticking with it and being honest with us. I love as well that there are aspects of her story that Ann herself is not fully aware of, such as the pivotal scene of bondage and exposure . . . that may or not be anything more than her mind (and wife) playing tricks. When you give up all control, you do not always get the answers you would like.

Will her story ever extend into a trilogy? Only time will tell but, for now, Part Two is the end of Ann's story. As a fan of fantasy and fiction, I wanted more for Ann . . . I wanted to see all her fantasies realized . . . but I absolutely adore the way she has presented herself, making us not only understand what she is thinking throughout, but allowing us to emphasize with what she is feeling. They say you never know a person until you have walked in their shoes, and you will never look at fantasy quite the same way after a few hours in Ann's heels.

When I was young, there wasn't much TV/TG fiction, and often, what I found had little to do with feminization or just wasn’t very interesting. So I started writing my own stories. Now I’ve decided to share those stories with you. My goal is to provide you with high-quality, creative, interesting, and exciting stories. I hope you love these stories as much as I do.http://annemichellesworld.blogspot.com

Thank you for the lovely review, Sally! I'm really glad you liked it. Writing a true story was always a little nerve-wracking. In fact, I had the very thought you mention that if this were fiction, there would be a huge climax with my wife becoming the perfect domme and all of my dreams coming true, but that's not how things really went. They may still someday, who knows, but for now they've take a different course.

Interestingly, as I mentioned the other day, the ending (I won't spoil it) only happened about two weeks before publication, so I didn't actually expect the book to end that way.

Oh, I can totally imagine! My wife and I have played with the idea of chastity (good cages are so expensive!), but castration is . . . well a fantasy from which you can never go back.

For your sake, I do hope there is a third chapter someday (and one with a happy ending), but two chapters is more than people people have the courage to experience. I admire you so much for not only following your heart, but for sharing the experience.

Great review, and as I mentioned on Ann's blog, I will be purchasing both volumes once Damien is nice enough to buy Dee another Amazon gift card .. my smut balance is running low!

And this is one of the reason's I am pretty sure I'm a dom .. that since I KNEW it was two parts, I did NOT want to have to wait for a resolution. That gives control to someone else! Now that both parts are out, I am free to buy it and get the whole story at once!

PS. I love behind the scenes, and it's been great to hear more about both your lives and how you live them with your significant others.
